Black found guilty of murder of (White) Myrtle Beach Police officerHORRY COUNTY, SC - Luzenski Cottrell was found guilty Wednesday of the murder of Myrtle Beach Police Officer Joe McGarry, and could now face the death penalty.

After two days of testimony from witnesses, the defense and prosecution gave their closing arguments.

Well, nine rounds, because one round is in Officer McGarry's face," stated prosecutor Scott Hixson. Cottrell unloaded one full magazine at Officer McGarry, killing him, Hixson said, and two eyewitnesses confirmed that Cottrell fired the first shot at Officer McGarry's face. - (Black-on-white)

Ferguson-like attack in Utah escapes media notice; race bias seenOn the surface, the cases appear nearly identical: Michael Brown and Dillon Taylor, two young, unarmed men with sketchy criminal pasts shot to death by police officers two days apart. But while the world knows of the highly publicized situation involving 18-year-old Mr. Brown, whose Aug. 9 death in Ferguson, Missouri touched off violence, protests and an angry national debate, most people outside Utah have never heard of 20-year-old Mr. Taylor. Critics say there’s a reason for the discrepancy in media coverage: race. Mr. Brown was black and the officer who shot him was white. Mr. Taylor wasn’t black — he’s been described as white and Hispanic — and the officer who shot him Aug. 11 outside a 7-Eleven in South Salt Lake wasn’t white.
